Today, apart from a very small number of people who survived in other cities or rural areas, the vast majority of people have gathered in this base.
Gradually, this place has accommodated nearly 100,000 people.
Before the apocalypse, this number might have represented the population of just one small town in China, but now it carries the hopes of everyone.
The needs of 100,000 people to eat, drink, and relieve themselves were a major headache even for Rhodes.
Fortunately, the reclamation of the surrounding land relieved much of his pressure.
However, there were still many fights throughout the base, often over women and handsome men.
Women are an extremely scarce resource nowadays, and everyone wants to have a taste of them.
Even Rhodes didn't have a good solution; he could only lead by example and not seek out women himself.
Fortunately, some women were unwilling to work and were willing to exchange their bodies for food, which at least relieved some of the pressure.
In short, this human base operates under conditions that are extremely primitive and barbaric, mixed with civilization.
They accepted these conditions because the rain was light and the sun was about to come out.
Almost everyone believes that after experiencing extreme cold, heat, and torrential rain, the world will slowly return to normal.
However, they did not expect that there would be a hurricane.
When the hurricane began to sweep through the area near the base, almost everyone rushed to salvage the plants that had been difficult to cultivate.
However, the underground base is made of cement, so there's no place to farm there.
Rhodes was forced to begin preparing food supplies in the face of a new food crisis.
Fortunately, he did not dispose of the body during this time, and there was still a considerable amount of fruit and potatoes.
Moreover, the underground base also has many cockroaches and rats, which are high-quality meat and protein sources.
In short, we should store these items in stock for now.
However, one thing that troubled Rod was that many people were filled with despair and then began to commit suicide.
Suicide is contagious.
Especially in the apocalypse.
Almost everyone felt that the end of the world was inevitable, and they had been under immense psychological pressure for the past three years.
Everyone has enjoyed technology, and everyone lives in this harsh environment with the belief that they can restore human civilization.
However, people now feel that the end of the world has no end.
Even if we continue to live on, it's meaningless.
Despair spread through the underground base, and suicide began to take hold.
At first, there were only two or three people here and there.
After that, more than a dozen people made a suicide pact together.
Then, dozens of people committed suicide together.
When Rhodes first heard the news of the suicide, he didn't pay much attention, after all, suicide was quite normal in this situation.
But as the number of suicides increases, almost everyone will no longer see death as a source of fear, but rather as a relief.
At this point, Rhodes couldn't sit still any longer.
At this moment, Rhodes still had one thought: to lead these people to restore civilization.
He was unaware that in the original storyline, he was merely one of Zhang Zihao's subordinates.
Thanks to the supplies provided by Zhang Zihao, there are many people here, and it's only a matter of time before civilization is restored.
However, food security is now a constraint on development.
Rod's lips were burning from anxiety.
An abyss called despair is engulfing all of humanity.
…
…
The wind howled, and Xia Muge could hear the noise even in the basement.
The light bulb hanging from the ceiling swayed back and forth.
The villa's solar panels have been rendered unusable due to a year of torrential rains, and all electricity now comes from a diesel generator.
Xia Muge's daily routine consists of searching the world for gas stations.
He had stockpiled enough oil, but now that the diesel engine was on the top floor of the villa and connected to the power source, they were worried that the villa might collapse.
When Xia Muge woke up the next day, he saw the messy villa.
The blast-proof glass failed to keep out the wind, leaving the entire villa in a mess.
He looked at the situation and found that the edge of the window had cracked due to the rain.
So the entire villa was left in a mess.
Seeing this, Xia Muge instinctively went to find the generator.
Fortunately, the generator was fine.
However, if this continues, the villa's independent power system will definitely have to be disconnected.
Even with his extraordinary abilities, he couldn't solve this problem.
Xu Wanru and others took it all in stride.
"At least we still have food and water, it's just that we don't have electricity, it's okay."
Liu Shiyun lit a windproof candle, but when she saw Xia Yu trying to touch it, she was so frightened that she extinguished it.
With cats and children around, candles are still too dangerous.
In the event of a fire, no one can escape from the basement.
In this situation, the candle is definitely unusable.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
You can't take chances with this.
The conditions in the basement are naturally more basic than in the villa.
Fortunately, it is still safe for now.
The only thing to be careful about is psychological issues. The adults are doing okay, as they have food and water, and occasionally there are kittens and children for them to play with.
But I'm worried that Xia Yu might develop autism as a result.
Every day, they take turns playing games with Xia Yu, and only breathe a sigh of relief after Xia Yu is all smiles.
…
…
The wind howled.
Even in the mountainous city of Nanming, many buildings collapsed as a result.
Zhang Zihao didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, but the house where he lived did not collapse.
However, he was trapped in the house because the surrounding neighborhood had collapsed, and many rocks were blocking the entrance.
Zhang Zihao lay on the bed, not afraid.
He has gained weight again.
Even the bed sheets were sticky and covered in a layer of oil.
When living alone, one gradually gets used to not washing their face or taking a shower, and not changing their bedding.
I just feel that I can adapt to it.
Zhang Zihao is becoming increasingly lazy and disorganized.
He even stopped using ice to treat his toothache.
My teeth are getting worse and worse, and they even bleed when I eat.
But it doesn't matter, bleeding is bleeding.
Zhang Zihao didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
He was trapped here, utterly insignificant in this vast world.
The wind outside was still howling.
"I'd better kill me," he thought.
"A stone from the ceiling might fall down, or I might die from a brain hemorrhage."
However, Zhang Zihao was unaware that he was still alive because he possessed a certain amount of luck.
However, with each self-harm, his luck was almost completely depleted.
A hint of confusion flashed in Zhang Zihao's eyes.
He then fell into a deep sleep again.
However, for some reason, Zhang Zihao, who had fallen asleep, shed two tears.
He had happy times too.
Now, the whole world has abandoned him.
